Features
Kindle is designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions such as e-mail alerts and push notifications.
Touchscreen display
A touchscreen interface makes it easier to use features such as X-Ray, Goodreads, built-in dictionary, highlighting and more. And with a glare-free screen that looks like real paper, you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room.
Lighter than a paperback
Kindle is lighter than most paperback books, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods of time.
Weeks-long battery life
Kindle does not require power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for weeks on a single charge.
Easy on the eyes
Every time your eyes switch from a bright screen to a dimmer, ambient room, your eyes have to adjust, which may result in fatigue. With Kindle, the page is the same brightness as everything else in the room, so no adjustment is needed.
Reads like the printed page
Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving image quality.
Sharp, dark text
Enjoy text that reads like the printed page. All fonts have been hand-tuned at the pixel level for maximum readability and comfort.
Flip through without losing your place
With Page Flip, you can skim page-by-page, scan by chapter or skip to the end for a sneak peek without losing your place.
Take and share notes
Add margin notes that you can edit, delete or even export from your device to your computer. Share highlighted sections and meaningful quotes on Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads, and see passages frequently highlighted by other Kindle readers.
Read comfortably in one hand
Lighter than most paperback books, hold Kindle comfortably in one hand for long reading sessions.
No distractions
Kindle is purposely designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions such as e-mail alerts or push notifications.
Look it up instantly
Smart Lookup integrates entries from The New Oxford English Dictionary with information from X-Ray and Wikipedia, so you can access definitions, characters, settings and more without leaving your page or losing your place.
Enhanced search
New — It's even easier to find what you are looking for by combining and previewing results from your Library and the Kindle Store on the same page.
Share your library with family
Family Library links your Amazon account to that of your spouse or partner. For the first time, you and your family can access and easily share not only your own Kindle books, but also books from the Amazon account of a spouse or partner.
Read more challenging books
Word Wise makes it easier to enjoy and quickly understand more challenging books. Short and simple definitions appear above difficult words automatically, so you can continue reading with fewer interruptions. Tap on a word to bring up a simple card with definitions, synonyms and more. You can adjust the number of hints you see with a simple slider.
Expanded X-Ray for books
X-Ray lets you explore the “Bones of the Book.” See all the passages across a book that mention relevant ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places, or topics of interest. X-Ray's new timeline view lets readers flip through important passages easily to remind themselves of what's happened in the book, or navigate easily through images.
Squeeze in that last chapter
See at a glance how long it will take to finish a chapter or book. Time to Read is personalized based on your reading speed, and is constantly updated as your speed and habits change.
Enhance your vocabulary
Words looked up in the dictionary are added to Vocabulary Builder automatically to expand your knowledge and reinforce retention. Swipe through your vocabulary words, quiz yourself with flashcards, and instantly see those words in context.
Adjust your text size
Choose from eight text sizes to prevent tired eyes and keep you reading longer.
Organise your books
Arrange your books into customized categories by using Cloud Collections.
Never be without a book again
Shop Amazon's expansive selection, choose a title and begin reading your next book in under 60 seconds - no computer required.
Carry your entire library
Kindle holds thousands of books, so you'll never have to leave your favorite titles behind.
Pick up where you left off
Whispersync technology synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks and annotations across all your devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off reading.
Translate passages instantly
Tap any word or highlight a section to translate it instantly into other languages, including Spanish, Japanese and more. Translations are provided by Bing Translator.
Share with friends on Goodreads
With Goodreads on Kindle, you can connect with the largest online community of book lovers, see what your friends are reading, share highlights, and rate the books you read. Some Goodreads on Kindle features are only available when connected to Wi-Fi.
Fewer distractions, more reading
Kindle is designed for reading, which means zero distractions for kids. With Kindle, they can look up definitions as they read to build their vocabulary and increase the font size for easier reading. They can read thousands of books for free, including classics such as Treasure Island. And they can easily take their books with them without loading up a heavy backpack.
Boost their vocabulary
Kindle makes it easy for young readers to add new words to their vocabulary. Words looked up on Kindle are added to Vocabulary Builder automatically, where kids can quiz themselves with flash cards to reinforce new word retention.
Read more challenging books
For kids reading their first chapter books, Word Wise, available on many popular English language titles, makes it easier to enjoy and quickly understand more challenging books. Short and simple definitions appear above difficult words automatically, so they can keep reading with fewer interruptions. Tap on a word to bring up a simple card with definitions, synonyms and more. They can adjust the number of hints they see with a simple slider.
Kindle for Kids
Encourage children to read even more. Kindle for Kids lets you create personalized profiles for children, and give them access to titles from your collection of books. Children are rewarded with achievement badges when they reach their goals. A progress report keeps parents updated on total time spent reading, number of words looked up, badges earned and books read.

What does Scratch & Dent really mean?
We get this inventory directly from our counterparts at Amazon. When they receive returns or trade-in devices, they grade them on a scale from "Used - Like New" all the way to "Used - Unacceptable". What we've found is that their "Unacceptable" is a misnomer, and really just means it has 5 or more areas of scuffs, dents, dings, or scratches.
So my box will say 'Used - Unacceptable'? Why would I buy something that says "Unacceptable"?
The term 'Unacceptable' in the real world and 'Unacceptable' in Amazon-land mean 2 totally different things. In this sense, it's strictly an objective term for a device with 5 or more areas that are scuffed, dented, dinged, or scratched. Total. Front or Back or combined from Both. That's it. Don't believe us? Look at the pictures in the Photo Gallery. That's what Amazon's unacceptable looks like.
Fine, but what does this mean for me (the customer)?
Basically, you get to purchase a legit Amazon device for a steep discount. It may not be the newest model, and it may have some scratches character, but it has been fully tested by Amazon themselves...not some guy in their garage.
I want to give this as a gift. Can you just mark out the 'Used - Unacceptable' on mine?
We'll do you one better. We'll put a sticker over it. We can't guarantee that an annoying inquisitive person won't peel the sticker off to reveal the truth, but we tried.
Well, if you're putting a sticker over the 'Used - Unacceptable' label, why go through all of this?
We just want to be straight with you. If we got a box from someone we trust and it said "Unacceptable", we'd be hella butthurt about it. But, if you told us upfront about it and why it has to be what way, we'd be cool.
TLDR; We treat you the way we'd want to be treated.
